Page 45 Review by Jonathan

Faux autobiography of the conjoined twin musical duo (well they wouldn't be a trio now would they?) as recounted / channelled to Amanda (Dresden Dolls) Palmer and Jason Webley. Forget the fact that Evelyn Evelyn in real life bare an uncanny resemblance to Palmer and Webley bewigged and frocked up, this is the true fictional story of the sisters' horrific childhood as illustrated by Cynthia von Buhler in a wide-eyed gothic style which will undoubtedly appeal to fans of Roman Dirge, Jhonen Vasquez et al. It's a dark and terrible tale, which probably entirely due to having just become a dad, I am tremendously pleased that the sisters didn't actually have to endure. Neil Gaiman's a fan apparently (though that's probably just as well if he wants to avoid a divorce, Amanda being his wife) and provides a thoughtful afterword.
